GILLIGAN No they'd be too slippery! SKIPPER Oh…ep…will you forget the bananas and see if the girls brought the fish up from the lagoon? GILLIGAN Yeah.

SKIPPER (EXHAUSTED) Hey professor. PROFESSOR Got problems? SKIPPER Ep…problems? No I've haven't got any problems, just, er…I did some fishing down at the lagoon an…and I had two pails of fish and somebody brought 'em up here. Ah…ep, maybe it was you. Did you bring 'em up?

GILLIGAN They put a man on a deserted island all alone. MARY ANN I know a monkey! GILLIGAN No a real man. MARY ANN No I mean maybe a monkey carried the pails of fish away. GINGER Oh what will the contestant win!? GILLIGAN Ten thousand dollars if he can stay there a week. MARY ANN Maybe it was a seal. GILLIGAN No, seals don't like money they like fish. GINGER Oh tell us about the man. GILLIGAN Well, if he gets any help, he looses the pails. MARY ANN Gilligan I think you're a little confused. GILLIGAN No I'm not. If the man can stay on a deserted fish for a week, he gets ten thousand pails! MARY ANN Deserted fish!? GINGER Ten thousand pails!? GILLIGAN That doesn't sound quite right does it? MARY ANN No, now why don't you start all over and tell us about the fish. GINGER Tell us about the radio program. Gilligan answers both girls' questions at the same time. He looks back and forth between the two as he does. GILLIGAN Ok. The fish disappeared, they dropped him on an island, when we went for the bananas, he gets ten thousand dollars, we don't know who did it, and if he gets any help he looses.(pause) I think.
